Citron shawl - Knitty: Winter 2009 http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter09/PATTcitron.php?printOption=prin...

by Hilary Smith Callis

As this little shawlette was


taking shape, I couldn’t help
but notice a resemblance to
a slice of citrus due to its
semi-circular shape and
increases subtly radiating
from the center. With its bit
of ruffle and ruching, and
especially its reference to my
favorite of the California
winter crops, I knew I would
be wearing this wintry fruit
accessory to each and every
holiday party this year.

Designed to use one skein of


laceweight Malabrigo, this
shawlette could easily be
knit in other weights of yarn
and to any size you please,
since it is knit from the top
center downwards.

Draped around the shoulders


or scrunched around the
neck, this piece will add just
a bit of dressiness to any
holiday outfit.
